Time learns to fly

       More than just devices for telling the time, the wall clock at KP Square are now among the Suan Lum Night Bazzar's most sought-after decor items. Shoppers and snapping up the innovative tickers to add a clever toch to their homes.
       Italiam architect Francesco Cappucio and local art lover Kwanchai Kraivitavatana came up with the design, a follow-up to the quirky clocks they made for the 2005 Bagnkok gift and houseware fairs. For their brand they chose the name Hora-Italian for "hour"
       The originals became best-sellers at Loft in Siam Discovery and at Lamptitude Light Plus, and Kwanchai found time moving quickly. Just a year earlier he'd completed a course with top Italian designer Cappuccio.
       After his triumph at the houseware fairs he opened the store at the Night Bazaar.
       Its white and orange walls are lined with arty clocks in shades of black and white, with 60 different forms to choose from and materials ranging from metal and acrylic to wood, as well as mechanical
systems imported from Taiwan.
       There are, table clocks, calendars, CD holders and photo frames too, and if you have something special in mind, KP Square accepts custom orders.
       The clock designs are simkple, with the bubbly charm of 1960s fashion, but this year they've become even more colourful and playful. The inspirations are coming from the art of the designs incorporating hearts and animals and even the map of Thailand.
       The Tourism Authority should take note, because some of these timepieces are exported to Europe,
America, around Asia and even to Iran.
